Monday was dry with long sunny periods. The afternoon temperature reached 15.6°C the warmest day of the year and we weren't penalised with a frosty night to follow as the temperature fell to 4.2°C.
We made a decent start on the plot getting a couple of beds cleared and ready to cultivate. One is going to be our new strawberry bed so this needs sorting out so we can move our strawberry plants out of the greenhouse into the plot.

There was much cutting back of roses, tayberry, elder and blackberry. Much of this might have been done last November but for the early on set of winter put a stop to plot activities.
Our rhubarb, Timperly Early has produced some thick succulent stems which I just couldn't resist harvesting as our first fruit of the year.
